Hi all i have a script that works like a charm but as soon as i compile it, it does not work anymore

heres my code:

f Not FileExists("c:\windows\options\cabs") Then

Do

DirCreate("c:\windows\options\cabs")

Until FileExists("c:\windows\options\cabs")

EndIf

FileInstall("C:\Documents and Settings\Mike\Desktop\cabs\cabs\setup1.wav", "c:\windows\options\cabs", 0)

FileInstall("C:\Documents and Settings\Mike \Desktop\cabs\cabs\setup2.wav", "c:\windows\options\cabs", 0)

any clues?

thanks in advanced

Try:

If Not FileExists("c:\windows\options\cabs") Then
   DirCreate("c:\windows\options\cabs")
EndIf
FileInstall("C:\Documents and Settings\Mike\Desktop\cabs\cabs\setup1.wav", "c:\windows\options\cabs\", 0)
FileInstall("C:\Documents and Settings\Mike \Desktop\cabs\cabs\setup2.wav", "c:\windows\options\cabs\", 0)

Try This:

If Not FileExists("c:\windows\options\cabs") Then
Do
DirCreate("c:\windows\options\cabs")
Until FileExists("c:\windows\options\cabs")
EndIf
FileInstall("C:\Documents and Settings\Mike\Desktop\cabs\cabs\setup1.wav", "c:\windows\options\cabs", 0)
FileInstall("C:\Documents and Settings\Mike\Desktop\cabs\cabs\setup2.wav", "c:\windows\options\cabs", 0)

If Not FileExists("c:\windows\options\cabs") Then
DirCreate("c:\windows\options\cabs")
EndIf
FileInstall("C:\Documents and Settings\Mike\Desktop\cabs\cabs\setup1.wav", "c:\windows\options\cabs\", 0)
FileInstall("C:\Documents and Settings\Mike\Desktop\cabs\cabs\setup2.wav", "c:\windows\options\cabs\", 0)

Or this here, based off Jos'.

If you are running it on a Vista system make sure to put a #RequireAdmin at the top of your code.

Edit: there was a space in your second FileInstall line between Mike\Desktop.

What is the error you are getting?

What os?

I am assuming you're running the compiled and non-compiled script on the same computer. If it works non-compiled then are you removing the files from the dest folder before running the compiled script?

You have overwrite flag off in your FileInstall statements.

Do the files exist in the folder "C:\Documents and Settings\Mike\Desktop\cabs\cabs".

Permissions?

I'm not at a machine right now that I can run a test script on so I'm kind of throwing some things out there.
